Spring bars Rolex Explorer II 16550 — 20mm vintage
€12,95
Set of two spring bars for Rolex Explorer II reference 16550, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Size: 20mm between the lugs. Pin 2.0mm. Drilled lugs. The 16550 is the Explorer II produced from 1985 to 1989 — only four years, the transition between the vintage 1655 and the 16570 of the Nineties.
The 16550 is the hidden piece of the Explorer II line. White or black dial (the Cream ones are the most sought-after for the patina they have developed over the years), 40mm case, fixed graduated bezel. Drilled lugs and 2.0mm pin: still fully vintage specification, before the transition to the 1.8mm of the 14060 and then to the modern 1.5mm.
The same spring bars on every 16550 of my collector clients.

Frequently asked questions
What size are these spring bars?
20mm between the lugs, 2.0mm pins. It's the correct size for the 16550, drilled lugs.
Do they also work for the 1655 or the 16570?
They're made for the 16550. The 1655 and the 16570 have different lug mounts, so I can't give you sizes I don't know for those references.
What material is it?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. It holds up well to the pressure of drilled lugs.
Why does the 16550 have drilled lugs and 2.0mm pins?
It's the full vintage mount, before the switch to 1.8mm on the 14060 and later to 1.5mm on modern models. This set matches that original size.
Are they suitable for all 16550 examples?
Yes, the same pair of spring bars fits every 16550, regardless of the white or black dial.
